For those who have long respected the power of MPD, there is now anecdotal evidence of associated disorders: Florida Euphoria Syndrome (FES). There is a West Coast variant as well, termed Desert Euphoria Syndrome (DES).

Often these new variants are found in connection with or in addition to MPD and manifest themselves in otherwise very well-adjusted adults when geographically relocating themselves to either the desert or the State of Florida in their coaches.

Both FES and DES can be seen whether or not the individual has a Prevost at the moment or not. TBC members are not immune from this syndrome, by the way.

What happens is that when the carefree individuals think they are going to the desert or to Florida to relax, they find themselves without any resistance to impulses to purchase not only another coach, but automobiles, motorcycles, real estate, the list is endless. Price is no object (of course) and often both members of the coach crew are afflicted simulataneously, creating a very potent cash-stimulus to the local economy. On occasion guilt follows the purchase of the acquired properties, but not in all cases.

These new variants are usually found in the winter when it is cold "Up North" or otherwise inclement weather. Both FES and DES can result in significant relaxation and benefits to those who suffer from the disorder, however if the variant combines with MPD, there is usually some economic disorder for varying periods of time and can be significant.

Although this thread is posted "On the Lighter Side," evidence indicates that the combination of MPD with FES/DES can have lingering effects which may be serious if gone unchecked.

Just another public service from POG folks!
